Georges Media Group, parent company of The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com, The Advocate, The Acadiana Advocate and The Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate, is proud to announce the hiring of Chase Heatherly as chief revenue officer.
The former chief revenue officer of The Post and Courier parent Evening Post Publishing in South Carolina, Heatherly, 34, joined Georges Media at the end of June. He will be responsible for leading the sales teams across all of the Louisiana-based media company's brands.
“Chase’s experience scaling revenue organizations, growing digital businesses, and leading through transformation makes him an outstanding fit for where we are headed as a company,” said Publisher Kevin Hall. “This is an important step forward for Georges Media as we continue to invest in leadership that supports our long-term growth and positions us for continued success.”
A South Carolina native, Heatherly led sales at Evening Post after stints at Gannett, McClatchy and other media organizations, including as president of King & Columbus, a marketing agency in the state.
Heatherly joins Georges Media as the locally owned media company is expanding across Louisiana and into adjacent markets, including along the Gulf Coast.
Heatherly said he's ready to take on the challenge of growing those businesses.
“I have seen firsthand the leadership and innovation that Georges Media brings to our industry and the commitment its staff has to serving readers and the community at large,” Heatherly said. “I am excited to dive in and contribute.”
